its an age thing only craft over 25 or 30 years need one. Not that it should matter for GRP boats. Also length for some companies if over 26 foot.

thanks ill call them this week, i just found Alan Boswell group dont,or didnt require survey also.

Well easy question really, are there any insurance companies left in the UK that dont ask for a survey for a GRP boat 50 years old. I can get TP with no survey but not FC.

Hi all, welcome to the new year. I am not far off launching my boat and besides the survey needed by all insurances companies now, never needed one before and always had boat well over 25 years old. I see moorings have gone up. More on inland waters as with CRT and will be rising by 25% in...

Same old thread on these crappy set ups, the units are ok but you still need to spend around £200 on proper fittings. unless you are ok with these truely rubbish accessories.

Hi Anthony Welcome over. To get a hull thickness check you need to get it lifted out as its mainly below the waterline, or just about below to be checked. Thats the worst area for corrosion. And still you need to get the lot checked on these old boats. otherwise you mat well waste a lot more...

Question about thee kits as some folk think that its the units. I am dam sure its the person fitting it. I have seen some totally stupid questions on fitting the chinese ones from folk that in need to ask the question should not be fitting one at all. If a chap bought a Marine Erber kit and...

My god all this talk over drilling holes in GRP. All i have ever done is mark out, small pilot drill mark wit say a 6mm bit, drill to 14mm for a 12.7mm bolt. counter sink from the top for sealant spread. then use a large SS backing plate, if flat above then a good few inch larger than the...

Would not be a problem at all. here is a file of dimensions which i think you will be ok but check headroom aswell as draught. You may need to remove any keels or skegs if you have any. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/original/32433-waterway-dimensions.pdf Of you not up on inland...
